WICKED BLEND

Incorporating 30 per cent bismuth shot by weight, Wicked Blend’s steel/bismuth combo promises improved pattern densities and greater downrange energy. Designed for waterfowlers, the load is available in three- and 3½-inch 12-gauge loads blending steel BBs with #1 bismuth, and #2 steel with #4 bismuth. In 20-gauge, the blend is #2 steel and #4 bismuth.
